Getting started with your Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 is straightforward: simply lace them up to your preferred comfort and security. These trainers are primarily designed for adult female runners and are optimized for road running and daily training on paved surfaces. To maintain the quality and longevity of your shoes, clean them regularly. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material breakdown and odor build-up.
